3/10/2015: Happy 150th Anniversary to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"

2015 is the 150th anniversary of the classic book “Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland.”
Mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who is better known as Lewis Carroll, is the author of “Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland” and its sequel “Through the Looking Glass.”   


Besides being lots of fun to read, these stories are also full of adventures for the brain.  
The BBC shares how the stories of Alice and her adventures are now inspiring modern neuroscientists.  A fascinating story from NPR shares that the first version of the Alice story that he wrote for the real Alice Liddel had no mathematical references, but the books now contain many clever math references.

Your students will be able to study math and vocabulary with my Math Topics readers.  This original series of leveled books is written to incorporate the Fountas and Pinnell leveled vocabulary, Rebecca Sitton spelling words, and general core curriculum standards for grades K-6 in the United States.
